Purpose of Research
The tribology can be applied to various fields, and it requires broad knowledge of science and technology. Since the systematized techniques in order have not been established yet, this subject tends to be shunned by field researchers. However, there are lots of unavoidable problems related to the tribology existed within mechanical system design and machine maintenance. Hence, we have been working on the research in order to develop unique key technology from the viewpoint that tribology is one of the strategically important technologies for enhancing competitiveness of industrial products.
• Evaluate tribological features (Standardization, development of evaluation equipment)• Fundamental mechanism (Super low friction, zero wear, tribo-chemical reaction)• Surface analysis (Chemical and mechanical analysis of tribo-surface and layers)• Evaluate nano-properties of surfaces (Nanoindentation, SPM)• Develop a lubrication system for special environments by using new lubricants
(Ionic liquid as a lubricant for high-temperature and high vacuum conditions)• Develop technology for producing a functional surface by using a metal 3D printer• Surface modification (Soft-mater and hard coatings, surface texturing)• Design and evaluate high-functional bearings (Sliding bearing, rolling bearing or novel bearings)
Summary of Research
Future Developments
Open “Tribology Center” at Katsushika Campuson April 2015International Tribology Conference2015 (held by Japanese Society of Tribologists,Site: TUS Katsushika Campus)
Associated System: Support project of open platform construction in university, one of 2013 Local Innovation Promotion Projects supported by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Subsidy for collaborative creation program (support for maintenance of facilities and equipments within university)
Tribology is very important and fundamental technology within a wide range of science and technology for creating the new product groups. Tribology is useful for improving mechanical system performances (high-energy efficiency, high reliability, long service life, high accuracy and low cost)Both investigation and understanding the tribological phenomenon must to be understood correctly in order to perform troubleshooting or maintenance of the products.
